arm-init is responsible for setting up efi runtime and doesn't actually
do any ARM specific stuff. RISC-V can use the same source code as it is.

Rename it to efi-init so that RISC-V can use it.

<title>efi/libstub: arm: Print CPU boot mode and MMU state at boot</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2a55280a3675203496d302463b941834228b9875</id>
<content type='text'>
On 32-bit ARM, we may boot at HYP mode, or with the MMU and caches off
(or both), even though the EFI spec does not actually support this.
While booting at HYP mode is something we might tolerate, fiddling
with the caches is a more serious issue, as disabling the caches is
tricky to do safely from C code, and running without the Dcache makes
it impossible to support unaligned memory accesses, which is another
explicit requirement imposed by the EFI spec.

So take note of the CPU mode and MMU state in the EFI stub diagnostic
output so that we can easily diagnose any issues that may arise from
this. E.g.,

  EFI stub: Entering in SVC mode with MMU enabled

Also, capture the CPSR and SCTLR system register values at EFI stub
entry, and after ExitBootServices() returns, and check whether the
MMU and Dcache were disabled at any point. If this is the case, a
diagnostic message like the following will be emitted:

  efi: [Firmware Bug]: EFI stub was entered with MMU and Dcache disabled, please fix your firmware!
  efi: CPSR at EFI stub entry        : 0x600001d3
  efi: SCTLR at EFI stub entry       : 0x00c51838
  efi: CPSR after ExitBootServices() : 0x600001d3
  efi: SCTLR after ExitBootServices(): 0x00c50838

<content type='text'>
On arm64, the EFI stub is built into the kernel proper, and so the stub
can refer to its symbols directly. Therefore, the practice of using EFI
configuration tables to pass information between them is never needed,
so we can omit any code consuming such tables when building for arm64.

Increase legibility by adding whitespace to the efi_config_table_type_t
arrays that describe which EFI config tables we look for when going over
the firmware provided list. While at it, replace the 'name' char pointer
with a char array, which is more space efficient on relocatable 64-bit
kernels, as it avoids a 8 byte pointer and the associated relocation
data (24 bytes when using RELA format)

Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The EFI changes in this cycle are much larger than usual, for two
  (positive) reasons:

   - The GRUB project is showing signs of life again, resulting in the
     introduction of the generic Linux/UEFI boot protocol, instead of
     x86 specific hacks which are increasingly difficult to maintain.
     There's hope that all future extensions will now go through that
     boot protocol.

   - Preparatory work for RISC-V EFI support.

  The main changes are:

   - Boot time GDT handling changes

   - Simplify handling of EFI properties table on arm64

   - Generic EFI stub cleanups, to improve command line handling, file
     I/O, memory allocation, etc.

   - Introduce a generic initrd loading method based on calling back
     into the firmware, instead of relying on the x86 EFI handover
     protocol or device tree.

   - Introduce a mixed mode boot method that does not rely on the x86
     EFI handover protocol either, and could potentially be adopted by
     other architectures (if another one ever surfaces where one
     execution mode is a superset of another)

   - Clean up the contents of 'struct efi', and move out everything that
     doesn't need to be stored there.

   - Incorporate support for UEFI spec v2.8A changes that permit
     firmware implementations to return EFI_UNSUPPORTED from UEFI
     runtime services at OS runtime, and expose a mask of which ones are
     supported or unsupported via a configuration table.

   - Partial fix for the lack of by-VA cache maintenance in the
     decompressor on 32-bit ARM.

   - Changes to load device firmware from EFI boot service memory
     regions

   - Various documentation updates and minor code cleanups and fixes"

The fw_devlink_get_flags() provides the right flags to use when creating
mandatory device links derived from information provided by the
firmware. So, use that.

<title>efi/arm: Drop unnecessary references to efi.systab</title>

<content type='text'>
Instead of populating efi.systab very early during efi_init() with
a mapping that is released again before the function exits, use a
local variable here. Now that we use efi.runtime to access the runtime
services table, this removes the only reference efi.systab, so there is
no need to populate it anymore, or discover its virtually remapped
address. So drop the references entirely.

<content type='text'>
Instead of going through the EFI system table each time, just copy the
runtime services table pointer into struct efi directly. This is the
last use of the system table pointer in struct efi, allowing us to
drop it in a future patch, along with a fair amount of quirky handling
of the translated address.

Note that usually, the runtime services pointer changes value during
the call to SetVirtualAddressMap(), so grab the updated value as soon
as that call returns. (Mixed mode uses a 1:1 mapping, and kexec boot
enters with the updated address in the system table, so in those cases,
we don't need to do anything here)

There is some code that exposes physical addresses of certain parts of
the EFI firmware implementation via sysfs nodes. These nodes are only
used on x86, and are of dubious value to begin with, so let's move
their handling into the x86 arch code.
